Thanks for replying...i new to this so am getting used to using this forum. I got a lawyer to submit it all for me. I don't have a GC key-how can i get one? i just use the online tool to check. Does the GC key have more details? if so I will try to get one asap
omg that is so unfair.....how do we know that all pakistanis cases are transferred to LVO? any reason as to why our page hasn't been updated since feb? we have a newborn baby, so hard without my husband here. Is there any way to expedite ?
we are in a similar situtation--dont know why they are taking so long with pakistanis'
It just changed to that this afternoon!

That's a good sign! Based on other posts I've seen, that means the COPR should be getting mailed out soon (within a day or two) if it hasn't been already. I hope you got rush shipping for the return envelope!
Unfortunately you cannot link your application to a GCKey account if you have a lawyer as your representative. You will have to remove them first via ‘remove a rep’ form first.

It only shows the PA’s side of the processing in detail compared to ECAS where it gives dates of when medical is passed and specify when biometrics is completed and also displays when the Background Check and Eligibility check are in process and review respectively. You can ask your rep to provide you with this information too.
Fastest fedex offered!! HahaThat's a good sign! Based on other posts I've seen, that means the COPR should be getting mailed out soon (within a day or two) if it hasn't been already. I hope you got rush shipping for the return envelope!
I have a lawyer as my representative, and I was still able to link my application to GCKey. I'm able to access both GCKey and ECAS. I didn't have to remove my rep.
My information is correct and picked up from the official website.
- An immigration representative is handling your file.
If you have hired a representative, only the representative can access the application status through the Authorized Paid Representatives Portal. You must remove the representative from your file to link your application.
Upload the Use of a Representative (IMM 5476) form to your account, with “cancelling the appointment of a representative” selected on the form. Once we check the form, you will be able to access information about your application.
If you need to update your representative information, see: If I change my representative, do I have to tell Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)?

You don’t get an estimate time on BGC. The only time BGC gets a date it was completed (same way medicals has a date) is when your file processing is complete, your passport is stamped with the counterfoil (visa) and your COPR is issued. That’s when GCKey status shows approved and BGC has the date. So no way to know before that.
